AI Technical Summary
Existing electrostatic chuck ceramic plate and substrate separation devices require tools to directly contact the ceramic plate edge to apply external force, which can cause edge chipping. Furthermore, the electrostatic chuck is prone to shaking and displacement during the separation process, making precise separation difficult and increasing separation difficulty and time costs.
After the adhesive layer is softened by a heating element, the ceramic plate and the substrate are separated by cutting with a blade. The substrate is fixed by a support structure to prevent shaking. The heating element is heated by an external power port. The substrate is fixed by a combination of support columns, adjustment plates and compression springs to ensure accurate separation.
It enables safe and rapid separation of ceramic plates from substrates, avoiding damage to the plates by mechanical force and improving the accuracy and efficiency of separation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrostatic chuck technology, specifically to a device for separating the ceramic plate and substrate of an electrostatic chuck. Background Technology
[0002] In high-tech manufacturing fields such as modern semiconductor manufacturing, flat panel display manufacturing, and photovoltaic industry, electrostatic chucks play a crucial role. With the increase of usage time and the influence of various complex working conditions in the processing, the ceramic plate of the electrostatic chuck may experience problems such as wear, surface damage, and decreased adsorption performance. When these problems occur, in order to reduce costs and ensure the continued efficient use of equipment, it is often not necessary to replace the entire electrostatic chuck. Instead, the ceramic plate and substrate are separated, and the problematic part is repaired or replaced with a new corresponding component. However, existing electrostatic chuck ceramic plate and substrate separation devices mainly use mechanical forces such as tension and pressure to directly separate the ceramic plate and substrate, which can easily damage the ceramic plate and substrate. Therefore, an electrostatic chuck ceramic plate and substrate separation device is needed.
[0003] Existing electrostatic chuck ceramic plate and substrate separation devices suffer from several drawbacks. Directly applying a tool to the edge of the ceramic plate during operation results in significant external force, causing edge chipping and damage. Furthermore, the electrostatic chuck is prone to shaking and displacement during separation, making precise separation of the connection points difficult. This increases the difficulty and time cost of separation, severely impacting efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an electrostatic chuck ceramic plate and substrate separation device. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an electrostatic chuck ceramic plate and substrate separation device to solve the problems of existing electrostatic chuck ceramic plate and substrate separation devices, which directly apply large external force when using tools to contact the edge of the ceramic plate, causing chipping and damage to the ceramic plate edge; and the electrostatic chuck is prone to shaking and displacement during the separation process, making it difficult to accurately target the connection part for separation, increasing the difficulty and time cost of separation, and seriously affecting the separation efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electrostatic chuck ceramic plate and substrate separation device, comprising a base, an external power port installed on the side wall of the base, a heating element installed at the bottom of the base, a sliding sleeve installed on the side wall of the base, a blade installed on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve, a limit rod installed on the outer wall of the blade, a ceramic base plate installed on the top of the heating element, an adhesive layer installed on the top of the ceramic base plate, a substrate body installed on the top of the adhesive layer, a support column installed on the outer wall of the base, an adjusting plate installed on the top of the support column, a support plate installed on the outer wall of the support column, a fixing sleeve installed at the bottom of the support plate, an adjusting rod installed on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve, a limit spring installed on the outer wall of the adjusting rod, a fixing pressure plate installed on the inner wall of the support plate, and a compression spring installed on the outer wall of the fixing pressure plate.
[0006] Preferably, the heating element is in close contact with the ceramic base plate, and the sliding sleeve is movably connected to the blade.
[0007] Preferably, the sliding sleeve is engaged with the limiting rod, and the sliding sleeve is symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the base as the center.
[0008] Preferably, the support column is movably connected to the support plate, and the inner wall of the adjustment disc has an open design.
[0009] Preferably, the adjusting rod forms a telescopic structure with the fixed sleeve via a limiting spring, and the adjusting rod is engaged with the adjusting disc.
[0010] Preferably, the fixed pressure plate forms a telescopic structure with the support plate through a compression spring, and the fixed pressure plate is tightly attached to the substrate body.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This utility model uses an external power port, heating element, sliding sleeve, blade, limiting rod, ceramic base plate, adhesive layer, and substrate body to insert the ceramic base plate, adhesive layer, and substrate body into the base. After the external power port is powered on, the heating element heats the ceramic base plate, softening the adhesive layer. Then, by pulling the blade, the adhesive layer is cut, allowing the ceramic base plate to quickly separate from the substrate body. Compared with the traditional method of directly using mechanical force for separation, the separation method of this utility model is safer and will not damage the ceramic base plate and substrate body.
[0013] 2. This utility model, through the setting of support columns, adjusting plates, support plates, fixing sleeves, adjusting rods, limiting springs, fixing pressure plates, and compression springs, allows the ceramic base plate, adhesive layer, and substrate body to be placed in the base. After the adjusting rod is pulled down, the support plate is rotated to make the fixing pressure plate fit tightly against the substrate body. The compression springs then compress and fix the substrate body, preventing the ceramic base plate and substrate body from shaking during separation, which would prevent precise separation and affect efficiency.

The device is characterized by: an external power port 2 installed on the side wall of the base 1; a heating element 3 installed on the bottom of the base 1; a sliding sleeve 4 installed on the side wall of the base 1; a blade 5 installed on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 4; a limiting rod 6 installed on the outer wall of the blade 5; a ceramic base plate 7 installed on the top of the heating element 3; an adhesive layer 8 installed on the top of the ceramic base plate 7; and a substrate body 9 installed on the top of the adhesive layer 8. The heating element 3 and the ceramic base plate 7 are tightly fitted together. The sliding sleeve 4 is movably connected to the blade 5, and the sliding sleeve 4 is engaged with the limiting rod 6. The sliding sleeve 4 is centered on the central axis of the base 1. The present invention is described as follows: Through the external power port 2, heating element 3, sliding sleeve 4, blade 5, limiting rod 6, ceramic base plate 7, adhesive layer 8, and substrate body 9, the ceramic base plate 7, adhesive layer 8, and substrate body 9 are inserted into the base 1. Then, after the external power port 2 is powered on, the heating element 3 heats the ceramic base plate 7, softening the adhesive layer 8. Then, by pulling the blade 5, the adhesive layer 8 is cut, allowing the ceramic base plate 7 to quickly separate from the substrate body 9. Compared to the traditional method of directly using mechanical force for separation, the separation method of this invention is safer and will not damage the ceramic base plate 7 and substrate body 9.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 An electrostatic chuck ceramic plate and substrate separation device is disclosed. A support column 10 is mounted on the outer wall of a base 1. An adjusting plate 11 is mounted on the top of the support column 10. A support plate 12 is mounted on the outer wall of the support column 10. A fixing sleeve 13 is mounted on the bottom of the support plate 12. An adjusting rod 14 is mounted on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 13. A limit spring 15 is mounted on the outer wall of the adjusting rod 14. A fixing pressure plate 16 is mounted on the inner wall of the support plate 12. A compression spring 17 is mounted on the outer wall of the fixing pressure plate 16. The support column 10 and the support plate 12 are movably connected. The inner wall of the adjusting plate 11 is designed with an open hole. The adjusting rod 14 and the fixing sleeve 13 form a telescopic structure through the limit spring 15, and the adjusting rod 14 and the adjusting plate 11 are engaged. The fixed pressure plate 16 is connected to the support plate 12 via the compression spring 17 to form a telescopic structure. The fixed pressure plate 16 is tightly attached to the substrate body 9. After the ceramic base plate 7, adhesive layer 8 and substrate body 9 are placed in the base 1 via the support column 10, adjustment plate 11, support plate 12, fixed sleeve 13, adjustment rod 14, limit spring 15, fixed pressure plate 16 and compression spring 17, the adjustment rod 14 is pulled down and the support plate 12 is rotated to make the fixed pressure plate 16 tightly attached to the substrate body 9. The elastic force of the compression spring 17 is used to compress and fix the substrate body 9, so as to avoid the ceramic base plate 7 and substrate body 9 shaking during the separation process, which would prevent precise separation and affect efficiency.
[0023] Working principle: In use, first move the device to the desired position, then place the ceramic base plate 7, adhesive layer 8, and substrate body 9 into the base 1, pull down the adjusting rod 14, and then rotate the support plate 12 to make the fixing pressure plate 16 fit tightly with the substrate body 9. The substrate body 9 is then pressed and fixed by the elastic force of the compression spring 17 to prevent the ceramic base plate 7 and substrate body 9 from shaking during separation, which would prevent precise separation and affect efficiency. Then, insert the ceramic base plate 7, adhesive layer 8, and substrate body 9 into the base 1. After the external power port 2 is powered on, the ceramic base plate 7 is heated by the heating plate 3 to soften the adhesive layer 8. Then, by pulling the blade 5, the adhesive layer 8 is cut, allowing the ceramic base plate 7 to quickly separate from the substrate body 9. This completes the use of the device.
